Because Alabama does not allow early payment of property taxes, annual tax courtesy notices are mailed in late September for delivery on or about October 1 when collections begin. All property and business personal property taxes are due and payable October 1 through December 31 and may be paid online, by mail, or in person at one of four locations (Cullman County Courthouse or annex offices in Baileyton, Dodge City, or Hanceville).

October 1 ALSO marks the beginning of motor vehicle tag renewals for vehicle owners whose last name begins with the letter U, V, W, X, Y, Z. Avoid the crowds at the end of the month by coming throughout the month. Tags, unless your courtesy reminder indicates otherwise, may also be renewed online via this website, www.cullmanrevenuecommissioner.com.

Martin, who first began working with Cullman County in 1980, has been a part of the Revenue Commission department as a property tax and motor vehicle staffer, serving as the motor vehicle staff supervisor since 2009.

Current and former co-workers, family, and friends gathered to commemorate Martin’s years of service on Thursday, September 20 with an Alabama football-themed tailgate celebration. Martin is an avid Alabama Football fan, and in honor of her retirement celebration, employees dressed in their crimson and white to surprise her.

Willingham presented Martin with a plaque honoring her commitment to service. “We are all going to miss Mavis, but at the same time, we’re happy for this next season of her life. She gets to enjoy travelling with Joey [her husband, Joey Martin] and can look forward to new adventures outside of work.”

Martin’s official last day is October 1. Please join us in congratulating Mavis Martin on her retirement.

The redesign coincides with a new process for purchasing those license plates, effective January 1, 2018.

1. All owners of military license plates will be issued new physical plates in 2018.

2. You must advise the Revenue Commission office of your respective branch of service to be printed on your license plate.

3. These plates are ordered directly from Montgomery; at renewal time, you will receive a temporary license plate to use until your new physical plate arrives from Montgomery.

The Cullman Revenue Commission has mailed letters to retired and disabled military personnel each month per this transition in process. Mr. Neil Putman, a new Revenue Commission employee, is seen here preparing the mailing for September renewals.
